I want a new cell phone from a different company?

Question

i am on the tmobile network but i dont like thier phones and i really want a verizon wireless phone or an at&t phone (the iphone) but my question is: can i buy and use a phone from a different network than the one i am on without having to switch my network or phone number?

Answer 1

Nope, each carrier has different phones than the other, they have the same manufacturers just not the same models.  You will need to get a new phone or try looking on craigslist or freecycle in your area and see if anyone has an old phone because they just upgraded or buy a used one from CL.

You can have them port your phone number over to their network.

Answer 2

Well for verizon, u cant use any of their phones on your tmobile network because they use different networks tmobile(CDMA) and verizon(GSM) but at&t phones are compatible with tmobile so there u have it your choices have just narrowed down to the iphone.  

also yes u can port your old number to your new service, just call tmobile to help u with that after u get the phone u want.

hello

The iPhone is SWEET!!!!  It's not only a mobile phone. Oh no. When you buy an iPhone you will also get an iPod!  This iPod function is very nice because of the 3.5" big screen. And you can play music as well as video.

I just found this site where you can get into a drawing for 2 FREE 3G iPhones.  It cost nothing to do it so I figured what the heck.  The site is http://myimagesafe.com/free3gs
